Page 12—Saturday, November 11, 1944 What D’ya Mean, 250 Grand? Don't let it throw you, Bachem We know $250,000 is a lot of dough. The members and friends of the Labor-Progressive Party are really going to have to roll up their sleeves to get that kind of money before the comirig Federal Elections. That is what the 250 Grand is for: to underwrite the cost of running 65 or 70 candidates for the LPP in the Federal Election. Every penny of it. But it's not quite as tough a job as it looks. You can ‘break it down to less than $15 per member, if you like. kk doesn’t look so big that way. Provided all of us are on the job! ; _ And remember: every nickel, every dollar you collect by canvassing, in the shop, from your friends, at public meetings or any other way you collect it, means another vote for an LPP candidate, another vote that will send Tim Buck and hés colleagues to Parliament Hill. Money and votes are two things we’ll need a lot of, ‘come election day. We've got the candidates and we’ve got the right program — and brother, if ever there was a RIGHT program placed before the Canadian people, this is it! This is the way Tim Buck puts it: : “The majority of the electors favor policies of jobs ,social Securtiy and a presperous domestic market at home with inter national co-operation in mutual aid and lasting peace abroad. Federal Election Campaign Fund Drive for ~ “The Labor-Progressive Party proposes that the government placed in office by the coming Federal election shall be a coalition government representing and depending upon the support of that progressive, reform-minded majority of the people.’* It makes sense. If ever we hope to bring order and reconstruction out of this battered old world, we'll all have to pitch in and co-operate to do the rebuilding — that is all of us who are not “drew-drips.”** . “What do we mean by “the progressive, reform-minded Majority?’ We mean those Canadians who are organized in the trade union movement, progressive farm organizations, the Labor-Progressive Party, the CCF and the masses of democratic, reform-minded liberals who support Mackenzie King: Together. these forces represent the overwhelming majority of the people.” To get these ideas across to the Canadian people, the LPP is putting 65 or 70 candidates in the field — men and women like Tim Buck, Fred Rose, Dorise Nielsen. That makes us a national party with a national program in the national interest. The job is to elect them. That's why we need 250 Grand. It costs money to fight reaction and we don’t have the kind of folding money the Tory boys can throw around. . But if we dig a bit, we can get enough. $250,000 will do the trick. Will you callout the gang and start pitching? . ..
